This week is Hanukkah and a time to light candles on the menorah for eight straight days.  I asked my friend to watch the candle she lit last night.  She said her candle was 1 foot long and it burned an inch every 15 minutes.  At that rate, how long would it take for the candle to completely burn down?

Show your work.

For 4th and 5th graders:  Suppose her candle was 10 inches long and burned half an inch every 15 minutes. How long would it take for the candle to completely burn down? -----------------------------30510639621643 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="userfile"; filename=""
